Upon arrival we felt like we had arrived at the Shining hotel just as described in an earlier review, but at 3pm its lights on and showtime! Buses and cars arrive and the reception desk comes to life! After a botched car rental ( thanks Expedia : ( - we took the bus from Kamikawa which was easy and cheap. The hotel onsen was great, we went five times over our two days! Breakfast and Dinner buffet were included - the egg omelet was my fave breakfast item. Loads of food choices. We walked to the Ryusei waterfalls and took the ropeway and chairlift and then hiked to the top of Kurodake. The town itself was quiet - June 26, almost deserted - but a stunning place to hike and onsen. Took the bus back to Kamikawa with ease. It’s an older crowd at the hotel, regimented meal times, but a really enjoyable experience.

Nice Onsen hotel. The rooms condition is a bit old but in general, the location on the creek and the experience of spa in the nature is great. Staff are nice and kind.

A major renovation is overdue. Everything needs to be replaced except for the helpful front desk staff. The food is of dismal quality though they seem to churn them out in quantity. The onsen has very slippery floors, more so than other hotels’ onsens. Not a hotel I would recommend to anyone .

The hotel is really old and due for a makeover. The room and bathroom are not very clean. Place smells stale too. The food served in the restaurant was edible but not great. I couldn't wait to leave the hotel. If you are driving, you should consider staying somewhere like Asahikawa with more hotel options.

I read the reviews and I was concerned and maybe why it was better than expected. The variety of food for dinner was great and a bit overwhelming... because I wanted to try them all. Overall I would recommend for a mid price budget hot springs.

Quantity over quality
The stay was okay. I'm not sure if this is the case for all the hotels in the area but this facility seems to cater to Chinese and Korean tour groups who bring the volume of people that help this relatively large hotel stay in business. Facility was clean but a bit tired. Need to get to the onsen and have dinner early to beat the crowds.

Average stay but good onsen
We booked this hotel a bit last minute as we changed our destination from Asahidake to Kurodake when the Asahidake Ropeway announced it will be closed for maintenance on the days of our travel. While we enjoyed Sounkyo area the hotel was average. We stayed two nights and had half board, the buffet variety were virtually the same each day. For breakfast, staple like bread is not available. I do understand they mainly cater to local tourists. On the other hand we enjoyed the onsen experience especially the outdoor one.

A nice hotel in a beautiful setting
This big hotel is a little bit old-fashioned. However, overall the facilities were good and the buffet dinner and breakfast were very good. It is possible to book a private onsen bath for an extra fee, which is a very pleasant experience. We would definitely stay in this hotel again if we have the chance of visiting Sounkyo again.
